Reply to LPT Request: What's the best way to move furniture and boxes across states? by montezuma300
Sell what you can. UHaul or other truck rental, the price you see online is going to be the price you pay, unless you damage the equipment. If you are worried about towing your car, get a friend to drive it for you while you drive the truck, or vice versa and they fly or take a bus back. Or you leave the car behind and take a bus or fly back to pick up your car.

If you come up to me and ask me what's my birthday, my first and probably only response will be, "why?"

Reply to comment by SirHerald in TIL in the 1980s Monty Python got much of its exposure to the US through PBS, because of CBS censoring parts of "The Holy Grail" in a 1977 broadcast. This upset the comedy troupe, prompting them to withdraw the broadcast rights. by AnthillOmbudsman
Who got embarrassed by what?

Reply to TIL about foreign accent syndrome. This is a very rare (~100 cases worldwide) but real medical condition where people abruptly begin speaking in a foreign accent following head trauma like a bad migraine, accident, or stroke. by veety
I don't think it is a foreign accent they are developing but they are speaking differently that the way they used to, it just so happens to sound like a foreign accent.
For example if I started pronouncing my R's differently, you could say I would sound like i am British or Bostonian, but no, i am just pronouncing my R's differently.

If it is always going bad, you're not drinking enough fast enough. Buy smaller container sizes more often.

Sometime you buy from the real-life person because they are trying to earn a living. Not some guy in a garage on the other side of the world.

Load up a route on your phone, study the route, put the phone in your back pocket (or wherever), follow the route from memory, pay attention to the surroundings around you, then take the same route back.
Now of course, first choose a route that is easy with few turns.
After a while, next time look at the map without a routing, and decide what route to take.

Reply to TIL that in 2003, the chief officer of the German-owned cargo ship RMS Mülheim got into difficulties while on watch. His trousers caught in his chair mechanism and while trying to free himself he tripped and knocked himself unconscious. The ship grounded on rocks while he was out and later broke up by YalsonKSA
That's his story and he's sticking to it.

"oh, you like hot food! Then you must love the ghost pepper chili!"
No, I like how the heat adds to the dish. Too hot (spicy) detracts from the food and makes the meal unenjoyable.

Reply to TIL: “EGOT” is an acronym that was coined by actor Philip Michael Thomas. It gained wider recognition after being introduced on the comedy series “30 Rock” by lily_noodlez
>EGOT, an acronym for the Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony Awards, is the designation given to people who have won all four of the major American art awards.
>The EGOT acronym was coined by actor Philip Michael Thomas in late 1984, when his role on Miami Vice brought him instant fame, and he stated a desire to achieve the EGOT within five years.(Thomas has yet to be nominated for any EGOT prize.)
>The acronym gained wider recognition following a 2009 episode of 30 Rock that introduced EGOT status as a recurring plotline.
